Hachim Sudani

Hachim Sudani (1119-1130) was a Moorish general.

Biography
Sudani was a loyal family member of the Almoravids, but as a natural follower, he had no notion of command. Sudani was a nephew of the warlord Miswar I, and was of partial Sudanese Muslim descent. Hachim Sudani was also a key commander in the aftermath of the death of Miswar I, and became an influential Moorish leader. In 1130 he besieged the Christian-held city of Cordoba, hoping to take it back for The Moors.

Death
Sudani was marked for assassination when he laid siege to Cordoba, in hopes of weakening his Moorish army. Almerico Zorzi, an experienced Venetian assassin, hid in a barrel with a blowdart, and when Sudani and his guards passed by, he opened the lid and shot Sudani in the back with a poisoned dart, killing him.
